About us

Our history

On the 20th of March 1890, a rugby club located in the area of Wendt was born. A group of young men from the Servette neighbourhood, who were inspired by their English counterparts, decided to pick up an oval ball and begin to play rugby.

During the next decade, the Club expanded greatly. A soccer team was then created, first under the name of "Sunday Team", which eventually became the Servette Football Club.

Since football was clearly a more popular sport in the Geneva area, opponents for the rugby team soon became quite difficult to find. The club therefore decided to focus on its football, but never forgot its rugby history.
